According to the decision of the State Council, in order to promote the healthy development of the photovoltaic industry, the central government has allocated a total of 7 billion yuan to support the demonstration of 3,157 megawatts of photovoltaic power generation applications.

According to the data from the Ministry of Finance, plus 1,930 megawatts that was launched at the beginning of the year with an allocation of 6 billion yuan, the central government allocated a total of 13 billion yuan in funds in 2012. The total scale of domestic applications supporting photovoltaic power generation reached 5,200 megawatts, which greatly promoted domestic photovoltaics. Power generation application demonstration.

As for how the new financial subsidy funds will play a role, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance introduced that according to the comprehensive factors such as investment cost, the subsidy standard for user-side photovoltaic power generation projects was determined to be 5.5 yuan per watt, independent photovoltaic power stations and households. The system's subsidy standards were 25 yuan per watt and 18 yuan per watt, effectively mobilizing the investment enthusiasm of photovoltaic power plants.

The person in charge said that in order to encourage companies to accelerate technological progress and promote industry consolidation, they will continue to improve the threshold conditions for the performance of key equipment suppliers and products such as components and inverters, and the total light area conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules will increase to 15%. , The conversion efficiency of amorphous silicon thin film components has increased to 8%.

In addition, in accordance with the principle of helping and supporting strong and concentrated demonstration, the new demonstration of photovoltaic power generation applications focuses on large projects and large enterprises.

According to reports, there are 149 projects with a total capacity of 10,000 kilowatts and a total installed capacity of 2.55 million kilowatts, accounting for 92% of the total scale; the photovoltaic industry bases in Jiangsu, Shandong, Hunan, Zhejiang, Henan, Guangdong, and Shanghai have been established. The scale of good regional projects reached 1.6 million kilowatts, accounting for nearly 60% of the total scale; the scale of leading component manufacturers and large-scale investment development enterprises reached 1.5 million kilowatts, accounting for 55% of the total scale, among which the top 10 project owners The scale reached 980,000 kilowatts, accounting for 1/3 of the total scale.

In the process of promoting demonstration projects, the central government also pays attention to benefit people's livelihood. The 80,000 kilowatts of independent photovoltaic power stations that solve the problems of remote power supply in the remote areas and islands in Qinghai, Tibet, Xinjiang, Hainan, Hunan, Zhejiang, and Guangdong have all been included in the scope of subsidies for the promotion of energy-saving products, covering approximately 280,000 yuan. Households without electricity, more than 800,000 people without electricity. At the same time, we will promote photovoltaic applications in education, military, and other system pilot projects, and promote the integration of solar energy into communities, public buildings, and homes in conjunction with the construction of new energy demonstration cities.

The reporter learned that the demonstration project should be completed in principle by the end of June 2013. After the project is completed, it will be liquidated according to factors such as the acceptance assessment of the demonstration project, the actual cost incurred and the effect of the operation.

In addition, the Ministry of Finance has also made further adjustments and improvements in the appropriation of subsidy funds. It will allocate local financial resources according to the scale of the project announced, the disbursement standard, and the pre-arrangement ratio. Local funds will be disbursed according to the progress of the project construction. The project unit will better mobilize local government's enthusiasm for making good use of fiscal funds, improve the efficiency of the use of fiscal funds, and be able to develop the photovoltaic power generation industry more effectively.
